Hi Ram!

You haven't missed it, assuming that you do not live in North America.

In Europe, South America and Africa, the partial eclipse of the moon starts this evening, Saturday the 16th, at 7:36 p.m. GMT.  

In Asia and Australia, with the time difference, this means the early morning hours of tomorrow, Sunday the 17th.  In Perth, Western Australia, for instance, the partial phase starts at 3:36 a.m. Australian Western Time Sunday morning.  In India, it begins at 1:06 a.m. India Standard Time.

Mid eclipse comes just over 1 1/2 hours later, at 9:10 p.m. GMT.  This eclipse will only be seen as a partial eclipse.  Nowhere in the world is the lunar disc completely covered.  At mid-eclipse, around 11:10 p.m. South African Time if you were in South Africa, about 81% of the moon's face is eclipsed, with a thin crescent of moon remaining in sunlight around the lunar north pole.  

The partial eclipse ends everywhere in the world at 10:44 p.m. GMT, which is the same as 7:44 p.m. in eastern Brazil and in Argentina.  South America joins the eclipse already in progress, but sees the end of the eclipse in the early evening.
